chapter 442
442 – Off-duty confrontation?
“And now instead of rice bowl… … . “I hope you accept my heart!”
“What… … ?”
ㅡTiring!
[Conditional rapport was successful, you met the conditions for the rapport target (Silvian/風)!]
[The dragon’s heart was moved not by food but by passionate friendship!]
[The friendliness of the person you are interacting with increases significantly!]
Sylvian snuggled into my arms,
Suddenly a system message appears.
After many twists and turns, they succeeded in establishing a conditional rapport.
ㅡKkoook… … !
Sylvian runs up to me, wraps his arms around my waist tightly and buries his face in my chest. He grabs me and won’t let me go, as if he’s trying to convey his sincerity directly to my heart.
‘By the way, I never thought that conditional rapport would be achieved in this way… … .’
I couldn’t help but be taken aback by the series of unexpected events.
That was no different from my defeat.
They say they made 10-star food, but
It was a half-cooked dish that did not take everyone’s tastes into consideration.
Of course, I may have won the vote, but there was no doubt that I thought it was a disappointing dish. Because it was a dish that overlooked a lot of things.
Therefore, in good conscience, I had no choice but to support Sylvian’s cooking. It was never pretense or pity.
That’s why I didn’t like the yakisoba or eel rice bowl he made, unlike the one I made. On the other hand, there was a clear difference in taste between my Ganjjajang and Kkanpunggi.
‘I’ve always prided myself on satisfying everyone’s tastes… … . How can you forget that basic thing for a moment? ‘I was overconfident in my abilities.’
The more I think about the cooking competition, the more certain it becomes.
Where did I go wrong?
I think I was complacent and thought that things would work out just like they had done so far.
To be exact, I think I forgot my original intention.
Let’s make food that everyone will like.
So, I felt like I was distracted from making food for everyone, not just myself.
At some point, it started to suit my taste.
Because I believed that everything would be delicious.
All this time, I was taking it for granted.
Leaving aside everyone’s tastes,
I was making something I liked.
I thought that if I thought it was delicious, then of course everyone would like it.
In a word, he was arrogant. In fact, it got to the point where I wondered if he was telling me that it was delicious because he liked people like me more than my food.
I felt it especially keenly during the blind test. The same goes for the evaluation made after pledging to Dragon Heart.
‘… So I just supported Sylvian’s hand—’
ㅡTiring!
[The target’s affinity level increases!]
[Sylvian (Lv.550/Wind) – Blind belief stage → ‘Worship’ stage]
However, despite this, the conditions for receiving Sylvian’s Dragon Heart are met one by one.
‘I just didn’t feel comfortable winning, so I gave Sylvian’s hand… … .’
It wasn’t my intention, but I guess he felt a sense of friendship through my words and actions.
“Poetry, poetry? Please take my heart… … . “No, can you accept my apology?”
Sylvian, who was in my arms, looks up at me carefully.
Ivory eyes are moist.
It looks like he’s holding back his tears somehow,
If I don’t accept your apology here, you’ll start crying again.
“of course. “We’re friends, right?”
“Ahh? Is that really true..?! Thank you, Sicho… … .”
“Are you thankful for that? “I am more grateful.”
“no… ! I should have accepted the result… … .”
“Haha, I wish I had realized it now, right?”
“is it… … . As expected, I like this aspect of the beginning… … ! A big heart and a heart you can lean on comfortably… … !”
“Hmm, by the way, Sylvian… ? “If you’ve calmed down, can you please let me go?”
“… Eh? “Is it really a burden for me to start a poem?”
“No, it’s not like that… … . “Everyone has been looking this way since a while ago.”
“Ah?”
“So I guess I noticed something… … ?”
It was like that. This is the inside of the cramped food stall where everyone is currently gathered.
An unintentionally heartwarming scene was being produced, but not everyone was looking at it with a positive attitude.
ㅡPaanhi… … .
Everyone is looking at me and Sylvian with ambiguous eyes. It was strange to see men hugging each other in a cramped kitchen.
“Mr Breeder? We’re fine, so it’s okay to be a little more friendly. “It’s just nice to look at~?”
When Sophia makes eye contact with me, she gets lucky first.
She was clearly saying it was okay, but
For some reason, the halo flashed red.
A color that only appears when you are in a bad mood.
His face was smiling as always,
It was clear that things were not okay on the inside at all.
“mister? Why are you so embarrassed when it’s between men? Something is very suspicious… … ?”
Rayleigh represents Sophia’s inner thoughts.
She directly suspected us.
Their insight is amazing with just one eye.
“How come? When you look at it like this, it looks like brothers who are full of love are hugging each other… ! “There’s something very touching!”
“Raylin, did you think so too?”
“Oh, you too?”
“Okay. To be honest, at first I was nervous about Sylvian, but now I’m used to it and it doesn’t bother me that much. Rather, it’s warm and nice to look at, isn’t it?”
On the other hand, Leylin and Seirin’s attitudes were positive. When he saw us, he probably thought of his younger brother who crossed the rainbow bridge first.
“Well, I’m sure your tastes aren’t like that… ? I want to be hugged by the teacher, but I still have to wait two more days for my turn… … ? Haaa… … .”
ㅡCracked… !
Sonya lets out a sigh mixed with chills and casts a shadow over her face.
“Perverted teacher, I’m so shocked♡ I never thought I’d be embarrassed by a guy like him… … . It’s ugly-♥”
Even Eros, who consistently focuses on teasing me.
Everyone throws a word at us one by one.
Still, public opinion is not that bad.
Of course, everyone was jealous, but
It seemed like it was a bit of an extenuating factor because it was seen as a friendly match between men.
“Ugh… ! “Stop falling, Death-!!!”
But that doesn’t mean everyone took extenuating circumstances.
“Huh? Derke?”
“Today it’s Derke’s turn!!!”
Our Derke never tolerated it.
No, it seemed absolutely unbearable.
After all, today is Derke Day.
Until night came, the seat next to me was occupied by Derke.
“… “It’s okay to fall quickly!”
ㅡTupseok! Kuuuk… !
The one who immediately separates us.
Derke spreads his arms and pushes with all his might.
With our hands placed on mine and Sylvian’s chest.
“… Wow!? Ah, I see! “I’m going to fall!”
As soon as Derke’s hand touched his chest, Sylvian quickly pulled his body back.
Even though it was covered with bandages,
It seemed like he was worried about his chest.
Even if it is compressed and reduced with bandages, a woman’s body is still a woman’s body.
If you put your hand directly on it, you could expose the symbol of women.
“Huh..? I think I just felt something soft in my hand… … ?”
Look at this. Derke looks at his hands and mutters with a puzzled expression.
It must have been strange. Instead of strong pectoralis major muscles, you would have felt something else.
“Well, well, over there… ! The beginning!? “Didn’t you ask for another air earlier?”
In response to this reaction, Sylvian hastily changes the subject. The tears that had formed in the corners of his eyes had already disappeared.
“Oh, right! Well… it was like that, right? “Is it possible now?”
I also chimed in to protect his gender. It was obvious that if Sylvian’s identity was revealed here, I wouldn’t be safe either… … .
“I ran out of everything I made, but there are still ingredients left! It may take some time, but I will make it soon… … !”
“Huhmm… … ???”
The guy hastily turns his back and takes out the ingredients.
Derke still had a puzzled look on his face.
Fortunately, though, I didn’t seem to notice it yet.
“Sylvian? Is there anything I can help you with? “I feel like I made it a hassle for no reason.”
I walked next to Sylvian and whispered softly.
“Well, it’s not like that at all. Let’s make it… … . “Could you please make more food for me?”
“hmm? When it comes to food… … .”
“I want to taste the black noodles I made the first time.”
“So, I guess you haven’t really tasted it yet?”
“Yes. “Please, if possible, please do my part as well.”
The food was prepared with Sylvian’s tastes in mind, so he shouldn’t be able to eat it.
There was still enough sauce left,
I think you can simply boil the noodles.
There’s nothing difficult about it.
“oh? “If you’re going to make more, can I ask for one bowl too?”
“oh! Derce too… ! “I want to try Derke again while it’s still warm!”
“mister! I love that spicy fried chicken! “Is there anything more left?”
“I want to eat another bowl of Sylvian’s rice bowl like Yong-in Lee. Is it possible?”
“hmm? Everyone… … ?”
As we try to light the firebox again, additional orders pour in.
“”Teacher, us too!””
Sonya and Eros also unanimously placed additional orders.
“How what!? Everyone wants to eat here more?! Then, this cannot be left out on a good day like today… … !”
Among them, Raylin, who was quietly observing, quietly took out a small jar from inside the pouch hanging on her waist.
ㅡJjalrang… !
When I heard the sound, it seemed like it was full of liquid.
“Oh my, Leylin? What is that all of a sudden?”
“This is the alcohol I picked up while stopping by the village on my way back from work! There are plenty of good snacks, but wouldn’t it be a shame to miss out on alcohol? I’m already on vacation… … !”
Leylin shakes the bottle and shakes it with a sly face and tone of voice.
While answering Sophia, she looked at me with her eyes and smiled ‘whisper-♡’. So that all the shark teeth are exposed.
It was as if he was telling me to drink with him just this once.
“Hmm, it’s alcohol… … . It’s a prohibited item to bring into the academy, but I’m definitely on vacation right now… … .”
“Hey, Senior Sophia, what are you so worried about? I’ve returned to work, so can you please take a look at me just once? Ehehehe-♬”
Raylin clings to Sophia’s shoulder and slyly asks for permission. It looks like there will be drinking parties with late-night snacks until late at night.
“Well, okay. It’s a good day in many ways. Instead, this time, let’s just have whoever wants to drink without betting?”
“of course! Seniors, you also have a drink, right?!”
Leylin raises the bottle with excitement at Sophia’s permission. She continues talking with an excited look on her face, offering drinks to her seniors.
“… ah! And Senior Rayleigh-!?”
“Yeah, what is it? “Why are you calling me?”
“A match we couldn’t achieve last time at the Academy… … . How about we settle things properly this time?!”
“Hoo, let’s win… ? “You’re really saying that right now, right?”
“of course! A competition to see who drinks better without any conditions… … . How is it-?!”
-Failed! It’s shaky… … !!!
Sparks fly from Raylin and Rayleigh’s eyes.
How long has it been since the confrontation between me and Sylvian ended? … .
The embers of victory were immediately ignited in an off-duty match.
